how to connect a Kennedy 9100 ? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

27 Mar 2006

I downloaded the TC11 and TC-131 manuals.
TC11 has two 40-pin connectors, so you can not hook a Kennedy 9100
to the TC11. The TC-131 looks promising ...
Question: who actually has a Kennedy 9100 connected to a UNIBUS
machine, and (of course) which interface do you use ?
It looks like I'm in the market for a Kennedy 9100 UNIBUS interface
[preferably a singe board module]  :-)

  thanks,
- Henk.

  What interface should I be looking for to hook it
to the UNIBUS ?  
 Some variation of an unformatted tape drive interface. They 
 are slight variations between vendors, so you need the right 
 edge connector to idc interface card at the drive. There 
 should be some indication of who made the interface card on 
 the PC board.

 The three connectors are read, write, and control.

 Unibus controllers often are either a system unit or a single 
 quad board with a second board for 1600 BPI PE support.

 The Emulex TC11 and Western Peripherals TC-131 manuals are up 
 on bitsavers Plessey and Dilog made similar controllers.
